Hello Plumbing Forums
I am having a new central heating system installed at my house. The new system will consist of a worcester bosch greenstar 27 cdi combi boiler, 12 no radiators (compacts), 11 thermostatic radiator valves. The system will be sealed, unvented.
The pipe work will be mostly run under floorboards, the only place where it will be seen is at the radiator points, at the boiler and at the radiator in the kitchen - concrete floor here, so it will have to be run above ground for around 1.5m.
The plumber doing the work wants to use speedfit pipe and fittings, we've had a few talks about this but i remain largely undecided. He has said i can have copper pipe and fittings if i want but he recommends the plastic.
I've been told that plastic fittings can be unreliable over time and also should not be used on a pressurised system.
Can I please have some thoughts on this subject.
Thanks very much
